The Practice now manages all patient requests on the day using a system called askmyGP which is an easy, quick and user friendly way to seek help and advice from one of our practitioners (GPs or Advanced Nurse Practitioners). Patients are able to submit requests for children or anyone they care for, as long as the person they care for is registered with the practice.

The service is available to all of our patients between the hours of 06:00 and 18:30 Monday to Friday. AksmyGP has helped reduce the typical 8am rush for appointments seen with traditional appointment systems as patients can contact the practice at any point during our askmyGP service times and we respond during our operating hours. We aim to respond to requests made before 16:00 on the same day where possible.

AskmyGP allows patients to seek help from specific practitioners (so long as they are working that day) and we will respond either by telephone or secure electronic message. If a face to face appointment is required this will be offered to the patient on the day they submit their request.

Please note patients are no longer able to book appointments using their SystmOnline account.

Why do we encourage anyone who has access to a computer, tablet or smart phone to submit their request online?

Submitting a request online allows GPs and ANPs to respond to patients digitally which is often much more convenient for the patient. Most issues can be managed without a need to visit the surgery.

Like all GP practices our telephones are often busy and submitting a request online will save the patient time as there is no waiting for our team of call handlers to get round to your call.

submitting a request online allows a patient to include more detail about their issue including photos and documents which could be useful to the practitioner who is dealing with the request.

submitting a request online keeps our telephones lines free for patients who genuinely do not have online access or require other services not managed through askmyGP such as nurse appointments.

Patient Benefit Fund

The practice has a benefit fund and patients may wish to make a donation to the surgery. This money is kept in a separate account and is used to provide special equipment to help improve patient care and comfort.

Friends and Family Test

The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) was created to help service providers and commissioners understand whether their patients are happy with the service provided, or where improvements are needed. It is a quick and anonymous way to give your views after receiving care or treatment across the NHS.

Since its launch in 2013, more than 25 million pieces of patient feedback have been submitted. The FFT has been rolled out across most NHS services, including community care, hospitals, mental health services, maternity services, GP and dental practices, emergency care, patient transport and more.
